St Marychurch, Torquay

This spacious bay fronted DETACHED FAMILY HOME stands in the very heart of St Marychurch, one of Torquay's most favoured districts.  The well-proportioned living space offers a large sitting/dining room and sun lounge, which are complemented by THREE BEDROOMS and a versatile loft room with balcony enjoying some sea views.  Set within sizeable, southerly facing gardens the property also benefits from a garage, valuable off-road parking, a workshop, store, garden room and large shed/workshop.

Situated in a most convenient location, the property is just a level saunter to the pedestrianised shopping precinct with wide choice of shops and eateries, and the scenic Babbacombe Downs with shingle beaches below equally accessible. Numerous leisure and sports clubs are close at hand, with Babbacombe Corinthian Sailing Club at the base of the precinct, and Torquay Golf Club virtually a tee shot away.

OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have lived in this road since 2005, and moved into no11a in 2009. We have completed many projects on the house and garden since being here. It’s been a lovely family home but we need to downsize, allowing us to enjoy everything around us, still staying in the area. We enjoy the precinct on our doorstep with late opening shops, pubs and restaurants on Babbacombe Downs. Beaches are a short walk from home. The house has many attributes such as a driveway, garage, and storage area. In the garden we have a hot tub, summerhouse and covered decked area, it also has a 17’ metal shed that would be a great workshop or man cave. We have had many family BBQ’s and party’s in our home and it is time for someone else to enjoy it."
